Haley: Israel getting 'bullied' by the UN
BY JULIA MANCHESTER - 03/05/18 10:28 PM EST
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley ripped the U.N. during a speech at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) conference on Monday, accusing the international body of being a bully.
"At the U.N. and throughout the U.N. agencies, Israel does get bullied. It gets bullied because the countries that don't like Israel are used to being able to get away with it," Haley said. "That just doesn't sit well with me."
"The U.N. spends more than half of its time singling out one country," she continued. "We will not stand for it any longer."
Haley's comments coincided with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's meeting with President Trump at the White House on Monday.
Trump revealed during the meeting that he may visit Jerusalem in May for the opening of the recently moved U.S. embassy.
